Picnic Basket Connection

There are many different choices and combinations for types of picnic basket food.  That being said, though, it is important to choose the right type of food for the right type of occasion.  You might not want to bring potato chips to a romantic picnic dinner underneath the stars, just as you probably would not want to bring shrimp to a casual picnic with friends.  Here are the top tips for choosing your picnic basket food.

1.  First identify whether your picnic is going to be casual (with a friend or friends), more formal in nature (with business associates), or one of the romantic nature.  The type of picnic is a great place to start in your picnic basic foods decision making process.

2.  Lunch choices may include sandwiches, apples with peanut butter, or salad.  Don’t bring tuna to your lunch as tuna and a hot day don’t mix extremely well.

3.  Remember your picnic in most cases is not going to be a luxurious dining experience, so feel free to shop around for the best food prices.  You can typically get real good deals at Walmart.  If you are looking to put together sandwiches you can check out the deli counter.  Remember if you go the sandwich route to get yourself a nice side of potato salad or macaroni salad.

4.  Don’t forget desert.  A picnic or should I say a real picnic is never complete without a desert to put the cap on a delicious lunch.  You have many options to choose from, all the way from homemade chocolate chip cookies too some brownies.  Don’t go and bring icecream to your picnic or anything that can melt, unless of course you want to eat soup for your desert.  Yuck!!!

Now that you have some tips for your next picnic you can go ask the boy or girl on that date that you have been meaning to go on or possibly that special friend.  Best of luck.
